- 370 THE YOUNG CITIZEN 0"Ctobtr; 1940 MOTHER RABBIT AND HER BABIES SEE the long floppy ears of Mother Rabbit and her babies! When these babies were born, they had no fur and their eyes were closed. They were born in a dark tunnel under the ground. Mother Rabbit had dug it for them. She made a soft bed of grasses and fur. The fur she pulled from her own breast. That is the way that baby rabbits are born iri the countries where ·they live .wild. Are there any wild rabbits in any of the Philippine provinces? Rabbits can leap very swiftiy over the ground with the help of their long hind legs. The rabbit can hide from his enemies. His color is so much like the ground that he is hard to see. In countries where there is much snow rabbits turn white in winter. Have .you ever· seen a mother rabbit or young rabbits?
